Purchasing Decisions for eDiscovery

During this one-hour complimentary webinar, sponsored by LexisNexis, we will discuss why law firms are moving their litigation environments to a private cloud, and the requirements and internal challenges often faced when deciding to make the move to a hosted solution. You’ll hear from a Chief Information Officer and Litigation Director at two top law firms as they share their personal experiences and insight into the main requirements law firms must consider when incorporating the cloud into their e-discovery technology strategy.

The rise in e-commerce data breaches over the past year raises important questions: Why is cardholder data such a big target, how do the bad guys get in and why are we seemingly powerless to stop them?

This session will examine the black market for card data, the three most common attack vectors, and the wrong way to encrypt databases.

You will see real-world examples of malware discovered during investigations and gain insights into the skill sets of each attacker.

This webinar, sponsored by LexisNexis, will be a reprise of the first of three panel sessions at Legal Tech West Coast 2015.

The series - "Bringing Everyday eDiscovery In-house": “Everyday eDiscovery” may sound benign, but with dockets comprised mainly of small to medium matters, staggering amounts and types of ESI cropping up even in routine cases, and each outside law firm approaching eDiscovery differently, seemingly everyday eDiscovery can create serious risks and enormous cost overruns.

The speakers in this trio of webinars will they offer practical guidance on three sets of issues every organization considering bringing everyday eDiscovery in-house ought to address:

* Whether to bring the work in-house or outsource it;
* How to bring everyday eDiscovery in-house without disrupting business, or destroying internal and external relationships; and
* How to outsource eDiscovery without losing control over quality and consistency.

This webinar: For this webinar, "Everyday eDiscovery: Bringing It In-House or Outsourcing It," the speakers will focus on how to make the decision about whether to bring eDiscovery in house, outsource it, or change nothing.

It is not easy deciding whether to bring everyday eDiscovery in-house, outsource it, or change nothing. With every organization starting from a different point and with many possible outcomes, this decision-making process can seem overwhelmingly complicated. Join our panelists as they discuss:

* How to determine where your everyday eDiscovery stands today: Who does it, what they do, and how they do it;
* How to define where you want to be at the end of the process: what people, what processes, what technology;
* How to gather the information needed to make an informed decision; and
* How to arrive at an actionable decision on whether to bring everyday eDiscovery in-house or to outsource it.

Social media is now a very public extension of an individual’s life, both personally and professionally. According to a recent survey, people spend more time on social media than any other Internet activity, including email. As a result, it’s not surprising to hear that hundreds of thousands of legal cases addressed social media in 2014. The use of social media for business purposes has exploded. Therefore, it is incumbent on attorneys, and consultants, to understand and address social media evidence as a standard practice in every type of litigation and investigation matter.

Join us for a complimentary 1 hour webinar to hear from our esteemed panel of experts on the importance of social media discovery and a legal practitioner’s guide to handling this rapidly increasing mass of critical data in their investigations.

This webinar will cover:
• Key challenges and best practices for social media discovery from leading social media networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn
• Recent case law where evidence from social networking sites played a significant role
• Relevant case studies and real-world experiences from your peers in dealing with social media data
•A demonstration of X1 Social Discovery™, the industry leading investigative solution specifically designed for legal practitioners and forensic professionals
• Best practices on how to incorporate a defensible investigative platform into your eDiscovery workflow to collect, search, preserve and manage social media evidence

Join us on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm Central when we present the free live EDRM Webinar, "Using Ringtail to Manage Rolling Matters," sponsored by FTI Consulting.

One of the most challenging aspects of e-discovery is the “rolling” nature of data collection and processing and its impact on document review. Often teams finish ingesting and coding one data set only to have to start all over again when a new collection comes in the door. Compounded by tight production deadlines, these piecemeal data sets can make legal teams feel like they are waking up to Groundhog Day all over again. It’s crucial to have tools and processes that support automation and replication within rolling matter workflows in order to save time and reduce cost. In this webinar we will show you how the new Ringtail platform allows you to automate the introduction of new data, use data snapshots to set strategy and manage review assignments, leverage previous coding decisions and take advantage of concept clustering to make short work of rolling additions. During this webinar attendees will learn:

* How Ringtail’s new automated processing module makes ingestion easy, fast and repeatable
* How e-mail threading adds efficiency during a rolling matter
* How to use concept clustering and analytics to intelligently combine new document sets with previous
* How to perform visual QA to quickly identify problems
* How to re-use processing settings and coding decisions

Join us on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm Central when we present the free live EDRM Webinar, "Using Ringtail’s Visual Analytics on Small to Midsized Matters," sponsored by FTI Consulting.

What does ‘big data’ mean to you? For some legal teams, 100,000 documents is a big data challenge. For others, the panic sets in at 5,000. No matter what the numbers, legal teams of all sizes and sophistication levels can be faster and more efficient at taming ‘big data’ when they use new ways to break that data into small and easy to review chunks. In this webinar, you’ll see how Ringtail’s simple to learn and use visual analytics can improve your strategy on 100k, 50k and even 5k (and fewer!) document cases. From automatically separating documents into thematic groups to finding hot facts and key custodian conversations fast to supporting the quick analysis of like document families, Ringtail’s analytics make tasks that used to take a week, take an hour. If you’ve been thinking analytics – and Ringtail – is only for large, complicated matters, think again! During this webinar we will show:

* How Ringtail’s Document Mapper shows 5,000 thematically grouped documents at a glance
* How automatic concept clustering makes review faster
* How to find documents that keyword search based platforms will not find
* How search term hit highlighting and search term families save time and money
* How to code multiple documents at the same time
* How to use analytics to prepare for depositions and trial proceedings

Join us on Thursday, April 23, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm Central when we present the free live EDRM Webinar, "Using Ringtail to Modernize Keyword Search," sponsored by FTI Consulting.

We use keywords in every aspect of our digital lives - from googling an obscure fact to sifting through Outlook for that email we sent last week, but in e-discovery keywords can seem like the past rather than the future. However in practice, virtually all legal teams still use matter-specific search terms during many case phases. And while most teams know how to do basic searching, many are not getting the most out of their keywords. In this Webinar we will examine how teams can use Ringtail's unique visual approach to e-discovery to dramatically improve the effectiveness of keyword search - improving quality, performance, and increasing early understanding of key case themes and documents. During the webinar you will learn:

* How to build a strong starter set of keywords when data volumes are large
* How Ringtail's Document Mapper eliminates the problem of “near misses” when searching
* Why concept clustering and keyword search are natural partners
* How to analyze the opposing parties' keyword search terms rapidly
* Why statistically improbable terms are important during investigations
* How Ringtail allows entire teams to collaborate with keyword search

Digital data has moved and is continuing to move to the cloud. Individuals, businesses, and corporations find cloud sourcing to be a compelling value proposition. How can counsel manage not only traditional office documents now created, hosted and shared in the cloud but social media and social communications. Google has not integrated social messaging and video messaging into its basic suite of business productions. How can this digital information be requested, delivered and analyzed? The questions for E-Discovery are how can information be easily harvested from cloud locations and reviewed seamlessly.

Our expert panel will take you through the nuts and bolts of cloud E-Discovery with practical examples and demonstrations.

Everything you do is case driven, deadlines are everything and end user experience with data whether it’s uploading or analyzing is critical. All of these things mean the business value of data is in constant flux, but data storage treat all data equally forcing you to choose between staying in budget or meeting end user service level expectations. Join Chris McCall, SVP Marketing of NexGen Storage to discuss new value-driven data management capabilities designed to help Legal Service IT providers deliver a best-in-class end user experience.

So what does the ‘Smart’ in smart phone mean? What it means to enterprises and Law enforcement agencies is an ever growing treasure trove of discoverable information: your call history, contact lists, IMs, social media, voicemail, videos, chats, browsing histories, apps, GPS location data, e-mail, and images (with identifying metadata). This means that mobile devices and the data they hold are going to continue to grow in importance and being unaware of mobile e-discovery is not a good strategic position.

Law firms are a well-known point of weakness for the world's most sensitive data. While their clients go to great lengths to protect data and are required by regulation and statute to do so, firms often do little to shield their clients' information from breach and in fact actively engage in practices that expose it unnecessarily. Join this panel to learn the legal lay of the land and to see if you (or the law firms you work with) are the weakest link. We'll also discuss how you can implement simple practices and technological solutions to shield yourself not only from breaches, but from sanctions and lost business.
